Jan. 16th, 2006 11:24 pmWatched the Golden Globes tonight. Was thrilled to see Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix win for Walk the Line. Was also pleased with Sandra Oh's win, even though I don't watch Grey's Anatomy.
I'm always amazed at how many of these people have really bad social anxiety. I know Johnny Depp is really shy (come on, I've seen his Inside the Actors' Studio), but he sucks it up pretty well. Joaquin Phoenix, on the other hand, looked like he was going to throw up when he was accepting his award. (I liked how he pointed out the irony of his winning for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, though. And he thanked Johnny and June, which Reese forgot to do.)
Or maybe he was just drunk. All the desperate housewives certainly were, with the possible exception of Felicity Huffman, who looked decidedly annoyed whenever she was shown with her shrieking, loony co-stars.
I thought it was a good night, overall. Very few bad dresses, proportionally speaking, and plenty of funny speeches. Hugh Laurie's in particular had my mom and me giggling, but Steve Carell's was also enjoyable. I got to hear Jonathan Rhys Meyers' natural accent (though he looks more and more like a heroin addict every time I see him). Geena Davis was gorgeous (I love red). There were also plenty of cute couples in attendance -- Ryan & Reese, Tim & Faith, William and Felicity, Heath and Michelle.... I missed seeing Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson, though. I would mention Johnny and Vanessa, but I was so distracted by Johnny's hair, I didn't have time to notice Vanessa.
I felt so bad for Dakota Johnson, though. Is she always Miss Golden Globe? No, I remember now, I'm confusing her with Clint Eastwood's daughter, I think. Anyway, she looked extremely embarrassed to be there, besides having a sad case of Rory Gilmore posture.
